From the Gospel according to Luke17: 20-25

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

The Gospel of the Lord

So Deeply Within

Similarly to the times of Jesus, when they did not appreciate His presence among them, today, though the Lord is everywhere, we often don’t recognize the gift we have. But the kingdom of God is here, among us—a blessing beyond measure. When we read the writings of the great Saints, we see how aware they were of God’s love and His presence, deeply within us.

Applied to Married Life:

Rob: You know, Helen, today in prayer, as I was meditating on the Gospel, the words of Jesus to the Samaritan woman kept coming to mind: “If you knew the gift of God…” And this phrase echoed in my heart over and over: “If you knew the gift of God…”
Helen: That’s beautiful, Rob. And what do you think the Lord is trying to tell you with that?
Rob: You know how much I love you, how captivated I still am by your smile, and how important you are to me. But there’s still so much for me to discover about the true worth that God has given you and the immense gift you are to me. I want to understand this gift fully so that I can always treat you as God wishes for you to be treated.
Helen: I believe God loves me deeply to send me this message through you. But I feel that every message He gives you is also for me, so I ask the Lord to help me discover the incredible gift that you are to me, to the point that, in loving you, I love Him.

Mother,

We know that a sword pierced Your Heart at the crucifixion of Your Son, yet thanks to His sacrifice, we can have Him with us in every Eucharist. Thank you, Mother. Blessed are you.
